THE CATTLE OUTLOOK.
Live Stock Indicator.

1.-Two STOCK Indicator.
There was paid on this market last
week for prime corn-fed native steers
averaging 1911 lbs, So per 100 lbs
the highest price paid for some time
These cattle were classed as fancy, and
the price paid, taking everything into
consideration, that is the light supply of
that class of cattle on sale and their quail
ity, was not wild. This fact is men
toned thus prominently for two reasons:
First, to show that it pays to raise the
best, and second, to direct attention to
this fact that values for prime corn-fed
beeves are exhibiting some improvement
There has not been a time, within the
past three years. when those engaged in
the live stock trade felt more generally
hopeful for higher prices of cattle
than at the present time. Dependency
is giving way to bright anticipations of
the future, and these anticipations have
some foundation to rest upon. unless all
signs are deceptive. What those signs
are, hardly need be repeated. for they
are too well known to ali engaged in the
trade, but it may as well be remarked
that they are not cattle trusts nor
beef pools but reduced supply. Cat
tie trusts" and beef pools are artificial
means intended to be of advantage to
producers, or rather to small coterie of
producers, but the natural law, and the
one which can be relied upon to do its
work surely and etfectually. is that of
supply and demand-the means by
which alone the Live Stock Indicator
has always argued the cattle market
could be benefited.
There are ups and downs" in all
branches of trade. and it now looks
as if the cattle producers of the country
were no longer to suffer from a depress-
Cd market.

A NEEDED REFORM.

The Kinsley Mercury; in commenting
upon the editorial under the above cap
ton that appeared in the EAGLE a short
time ago and which that paper published,
has the following to say OF the article
and the subject:
Murdock's views on this subject of con-
Quoting elections, are correct as far as
they go, but he does not reach far enough
The reason why such mediocre talent is
exhibited in our legislature is from the
fact. as suggested by him, that a poor
man. be he ever so brilliant can never be
nominated, because it requires money.
Look at our average legislature: particu-
larry that OF last winter, which may
properly be called "a Doodle legislature"
both houses-with few honorable ex-
ceptions were composed of men who
were the least talented of any in their
respective counties. and sold their votes
like fourth ward, New York City's thug.
Some day the true history of last winters
legislature will be written and then there
will be such an exposure as will surprise
the natives. We know that one, pos
sible candidate for governor, sold his
vote on county line matters for five hun
bred dollars-he wanted five thousand.
But that is not what we intend to com
ment on now: it is the corrupt method
of voting. The legislature commenced
method of reform when it passed a law
prohibiting the printing of misleading
tickets, and the peddling of ballots within
fifty feet of the pools; but that is only
the beginning Of what should be done.
In the first place it should be made i'm
possible by. law to peddle tickets, and
when that is done we will nearer have
an expression of the Will of the
people than ever before, which is the
true theory of ballot, but which under
our system of American politics is
farce, and should be brought to the
original intent and purpose as it can be,
by law.
This can be effected, and all the atten-
dant evils referred to by the EAGLE pre-
vented, by an adoption of the election
laws of Australia, or modification of
them.
1t would take too much space to de-
scribe in full,Abut we recommend it's
careful study by the press of the state
the operation and principles of the law
referred to; we only can state that it alb
solutely prevents fraud, and gives pos
tive expression to the viii of the people.
Wichita eagle., 1887-11-18
CONCERNING SEED CORN.

The Kansas Farmer recently suggested
that Governor Martin appoint a seed
corn day in keeping with the idea and
purpose of ''arbor day" that the farmers
might be constrained to give more atten-
ton to the important matter of selecting
their seed and thus improve the quality
of that leading crop of our state. We
see no particular objection to the sug-
gestion being acted upon, though we APP
prehend that the object sought to be
accomplished will be in large measure
attained by the public discussion of the
subject, thus calling the attention of the
farmers who are mostly interested in it.
The matter of selecting and using the
best Of all crops for seeding purposes is
one that every intelligent farmer under
stands and appreciates. and one he is not
likely TO neglect unless 1t be IN oversight
or entrusted to some one who NAV fail
TO comprehend its importance. The old
notion that the best must be prepared for
the market while the inferior or refuse
will do for home Use and seed has been
exploded and discarded by the progress
sive, enterprising American agricultur-
ist. because he has learned by expert
ence that the better the seed the better
the crop, both in quality and yield, and
that it is money in his pocket 10 carry on
his farming operations upon that theory.
1t applies TO all crops. and live stock as
val
